Isabella Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hi, I've got a few good questions. :) Handicap accessable? My best friend recently had to start using a power scooter. She and I were talking about going to PIP, but we want to make sure she would be comferable, and happy attending in her scooter. Have you seen others in Scooters/Zippies (power wheel chairs)? We're also discussing putting up a page on hanicap accessable events for enactors/fairegoers, and the ins and out of it, so that even those in wheel chairs or on crutches can attend. If you can offer imput that would be wonderful! Izzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf Grumby Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I was PIP this year and a fellow brethren was in a wheelchair but he went through the event with no problems I was aware of. Anything we did the had stairs i.e. Mel Fisher's, the art gallery all had wheelchair accessibilty. The rest of the events were in the open historic wharf area . I see no problems there, however I think the sailing cruises might prove tricky. Other than that plenty of fun fer a few more brethren. Hope to see ye next year. Cheers To The End Of Thee World or Wherever We Happen To Spin Off I'm off to see the elixir. The wonderful elixir of ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Olaf! Thank you exactly what I was looking to hear. :) :) I appreicate the imput! :) My best friend can walk but it's shakey currently. We are hoping for the best with her, since this is a new progression of her condition. Hopefully she'll be strong enough to wonder on her own power by then, but I do thank you very much for your imput! I'm counting days now! Hope to meet you there!

TalesOfTheSevenSeas Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The Goldcoast Pirate Faire at Ojai CA is wheelchair accessable, however the event is held on grass, so pirates on wheels that are not power-driven might want to have a crew in tow that can take turns at the helm and do a bit of pushing. The Hampton Blackbeard Festival in Hampton VA is wheelchair accessable and about 95% of it is on concrete, brick pavers and wood, so it is an easy roll. The Venitian Market portion is on grass. -Claire "Poison Quill" Warren Pyrate Mum of Tales of the Seven Seas www.talesofthesevenseas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW Pirate Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Isabella, If you get down here to Key West and decide that your friend just can't make it without help, you can always contact Access Key West, they rent scooters, walkers and wheelchairs, The 'Keys Krawler is a 3 wheeled scooter that is hand painted. If you want information, the phone # is 800 879 1961. Amy Key West Pirate pil'-lag-ing It's like looting, but the shopkeeper is watching from behind some hastily contrived shelter.

Isabella Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 Oh that's wonderful KW! If we have to fly that will be the best way. I'm glad you offered up that idea, because it's something we need to know! :) You rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
